A Chinese Druggist

By W. C. HANKINS.

ONE of those now deeply interested and studying the Word is a heathen druggist, who lives not far from Amoy. He is a man of good reputation, and fairly well off. He has long known about Christianity, has read much in the Bible, and also other Christian literature. He has a number of friends who are Christians. These have often tried to get him to attend church with them, but he always refused to do so; for, said he, “The Bible says the seventh day is the Sabbath, and you are keeping the first day of the week.”
One day, however, he heard of a denomination of Christians who keep the seventh day as the Sabbath. He was so interested that he wrote to one of our Chinese evangelists at Amoy, Elder Keh, asking us to come to see him. Brother Keh had several days’ visit with him, and the man is apparently giving evidence of conversion, and is planning to keep the Sabbath, as he had so long felt it should be kept. There are others in that same region who are interested with him.
